It is precisely the "doubt" and "uncertainty" in OCD that slowly reveals real wisdom. Even as one transcends OCD some symptoms continue to manifest, but instead of overwhelming one, one can recognize the overarching truths and differentiate between pure OCD manifestations and hidden wisdom OCD symptoms.

So Keep Coming back!!!)
Been away for qhilw but am going to start up with new tips, ideas and meditations for OCDers. 4/2/05
Today 1/17/05 The Spiritual Dimension of OCD reached it's 1000's hit. New people read this everyday and there are many returnees as well. But I fear somehow the way this blog is put together some people may not be fully understanding some of the more subtle aspects hence unable to use them for their own and/or others benefit. The reason I feel this is that I would expect more communication; either as comments or direct emails to me. I have received more comments then this blog shows as I have removed them to another area and I also have received numerous private emails but I would like alot more so I can fully create a clear and comprehensive website of The Spiritual Dimension of OCD. So with my doubt energy I sense somehow I am not being clear enough BUT without feedback either to me directly or as comments it is difficult for me to know how to clarify more fully. There are many more technquies I will share but I want to know if, so far, people are understanding what is already here. Thank-you and keep checking back! My email is: awakesleep@yahoo.com
How does the recognition of the Spiritual Dimension practically help one with OCD?
There are many benefits from actually experiencing a spiritual dimension.
- First the path of accumulation itself has many benefits such as mind training and meditation, searching out the vast literature and opinions on OCD, of the mind and so on.
- As mind training deepens more awareness of the patterns of one's reality become clearer.
- These patterns range from one's own mental manifestations as well as openness to the possibilities of syncronicities.
- Hence as one deepens one's meditative experience the mind naturally calms therefore it becomes more clear the pure OCD manifestations versus the deeper structures beneath the OCD revealing wisdom and the spiritual dimension.
- Sometimes the wisdom of OCD is precisely the OCD symptoms themselves such as doubt. And since the OCDer already has an openness to reality in the form of this unceasing doubt, many possibilities can be explored and with the growth of meditative experience one can eventually play, with a light touch, one's growing awareness and one's awareness of one's growing awareness.
- And with this expanding view toward the spiritual dimension another key benefit is the reduction of attachment to the OCD symptoms themselves.
HOW CAN I BE SURE? IN A WORLD THAT'S CONSTANTLY CHANGING�HOW CAN I BE SURE?
The awakening to the "gift" of doubt is rewarding.
And meditation with expanding wisdom is one of the keys to this awakening and to its potential liberating factors!
NOTE: This will be updated on a regular basis and so the "gaps" will be formulated regularly and added. SO CHECK BACK!!!
